Because it switches user without running any login shell, the profile scripts are not picked up. You should add the export command for ARCHIVA_BASE into /etc/init.d/archiva, or edit wrapper.conf (see below).

If you're happy with that, you might need to make sure all the wrapper scripts had stopped first. If you see -Dappserver.base=/var/archiva in the 'ps' command, then it has been picked up, and should be logging to the correct logs directory. > > > As far as I can tell, the documentation is just wrong about ARCHIVA_BASE > but I don't see any other way of doing this.

Not sure what you meant by puppet rules, but this alternative will also give you a completely working Archiva install on a clean RHEL installation (after Puppet is installed): sudo yum install -y java-1.7.0-openjdk sudo puppet module install maestrodev/archiva sudo puppet apply -e 'class { archiva: version => "2.0.1" }' This particular alternative installs to /usr/local/archiva and /var/local/archiva, altering the init.d script as I described at the beginning. > It runs but the DefaultUserService has > a combination of errors doing basic things like getting the admin user > created or setting up Redback for LDAP, so I'm falling back to manual > instructions. That sounds like it might have created an incorrect security.properties. Try removing that file and restarting the service and see if that helps. Regards, Brett
